What this law does
Only authorized organizations, agencies, or persons, as the section defines them, have access to student records, including student health records. Organizations, agencies, and persons from outside the school may have access to student records if they have the written consent of the parent or adult student. Those organizations, agencies, and persons may not transfer student record information to a third party without the written consent of the parent or adult student.
In every inspection of student records by persons other than parents, students or individuals with assigned educational responsibility for the student, an entry must be made in the student record of the names of the persons granted access, the reason access was granted, the time and circumstances of inspection, the records inspected, and the purposes for which the data will be used.
